The snafu with the fan installation is exactly the kind of grief us casual handymen encounter when doing some 'simple' work around the house. You guys were great in diagnosing and fixing it.
Don’t you think it would have been better to have contacted Bigass Fans to come out and fix their own fan? Seems like that would have been the smarter move to save a warranty on a $2000 fan! IMHO…
BigAss Fans better send you one for the house for fixing their QC issue. It should have never left the factory with that tape click. Awesome job and great picks for the lights.
A couple of points: I wouldn't be surprised if the assembly line workers wear ear protection; and using tape is a terrible idea as it may have not been making that noise after assembled, but changes in temperature during shipping and sitting before installation loosened its grip, but also what's to prevent it from loosening over the years, especially from the heat of the motor. As mentioned in the video, the tape's securing the balancing weights...could you image them doing that to your vehicle tires (though I don't recommend you take your fan off-road 😂)? They need a better way to secure them.
*"So were about to void a $2000 dollar fan warranty...LET'S DO IT!!"* 😂👍 You guys are SO impressive taking that apart and fixing it. That company should definitely set you guys up with free fans for the new house. That's only right. The place looks stellar!! Great work, guys!!!
You guys are just as (and sometimes way more) interesting than This Old House or any other home renovation/construction shows out there. Thanks for the education!
Tell Halo we appreciate their sponsorship, and that your video just sold them several down lights for my cathedral ceiling in my remodel. If they’re good enough for Stud Pack, they’re good enough for me!
You guys were too nice to the big ass fan company You made it look easy and all in all that probably took you over 2 hours of work climbing up and down that scaffolding again Big ass fan company needs to give you a big old kiss 😘
Jordan, you are so fortunate to have a wise, hardworking, and loving father who spends so much time with you! Time is worth so much more than money. God Bless
Hey guys! I got invited to a kids party at a play place and I always look at how places are put together and I recognized the craftsmanship that went in to the glass installed in the party rooms. “This is Paul’s handy work!” I said and I pointed it out to my friends and they called me a dork. After confirming with the owners I got to meet your son too! It was cool to have my RUclips world collide with my real world. One day I hope to meet you all! Keep up the good work!❤
I have been putting the HALO lights all over this old house as I remodel it, they work great! Thanks for showing those!! Sad that quality control is lacking on a $2,000 fan. I'll keep my HUNTER whisper quiet fans.
These videos are so good. I loved watching This Old House as a kid, and you guys really are like the next generation of building shows. You do such good variety, and your on-screen presence is electric and fun. Y'all are some talented folk.
@@mitchk7655The only reason they ‘wanted’ to was to save time. Sure BAF would have warranted the fan, but it would have taken several days to a week or more to get it all reboxed, sent out, new one sent, etc. Major hassle. They have skills, just fix it.
@@mitchk7655 That is not the point, which you missed completely. It was a 2000 dollar fan. The reason you buy a 2000 dollar fan is because the illusion of it being good and well built. This video proves both of those things wrong. Why would I now buy a 2000 dollar fan? That is why they need to do damage control and inspect quality control methods.
The electrical panel mains being closed and the lights coming on makes this my favorite episode of the series. It looks like a home, now, with the lights on. Beautiful looking structure.
Never thought I would enjoy watching a house/garage being built but I can't wait for the next video to be posted! The place looks fabulous with the lighting and that fan is awesome. Looking forward to seeing what comes next. Well done guys!!
Aloha Liz and Stud Pack family. I was so honored that of all the thousands of comments you get, you responded personally to me. Thank you and God bless you! I just watched the installation of the lights video - really great! "And then there was light!" I've been thinking that just about the time the "Dream House" is finished I might just be ready to make my home user friendly for my 80's and 90's - slide out kitchen drawers instead of cupboards, walk-in shower, garage remodel for live-in help, and whatever other modern conveniences that help people live out their lives in their homes might be available by then. I wonder if that might be a Hawaii destination "retrofit" the boys and your family might be interested in making their next project? Thankfully there is plenty of time to consider it, and I am sure your talented husband and the boys might enjoy the challenge of researching and documenting a project like this for the benefit of so many seniors who want to be able to stay at home. Just a thought. Please keep in touch and, once again, God bless you all, Mrs. Victorious Lee Pahoa, Hawaii
As a electrician, those Wago's are great. I also wrap mind in electric tape. Keeps the release tab lock down and won't accidently pop up when stuffing the box. Also use di-electric grease on all outside and bathroom treaded bulbs. Keeps them from rusting and unscrew easier. Love your show.
@@remodz6385I find it suspect when someone claims to be an "electrician" then goes on to state they put tape on wagos 😂 I mean its basically the equivalent of taping wirenuts... (can't wait for the herp derp "but what about motor connections" reply) 🤔
I got a great deal on a "dead" vacuum cleaner for my house, turned out the crimp connector on the power cord failed. Swapped it for a wago and it's been solid ever since.
Paul is a rare breed of builder that really knows a LOT about electrical work and "gets" all the details that go into doing electrical work well. Looking forward each week to following your progress! Millwork and finishes are right around the corner!
Getting passed every stage in a project is always nice but there might not be anything as satisfying as finally seeing a place lit up at night. Well done guys. Congrats.
Great episode. I to was blown away when the told me that their traffic light display was the actual size of the lights. Been watching you guys for years and you’re one of the few shows that my wife actually likes to watch too. It took me and my Dad 13 months to build my house. I can’t imagine trying to film the process too. Keep up the good work.
I couldn't help but smile when you guys turned the lights on! You guys need one of the attachments for the hole saw, so you don't get all the sheetrock dust on you. Box stores sell cheap throw away ones, but you can always get the good ones. Great job guys keep it up.
Great video! Keep up amazing work! Ps. Disassembly does not void warranty in USA, as much company want you to believe it does. Magnuson-Moss warranty act makes sure of it on legal side
First, the light you picked out Jordon super nice! Paul, great job on installing all. I’m glad y’all fixed the fan. When lighted all the house, I got tears! Y’all have done a superb job!!
Can’t believe how great everything looks. That paint scheme, black windows, and the big exterior sconces are 🔥. The Big Ass Fan inside is the chef’s kiss!
An interesting thing about Wagos is they actually have a hole in them on the top for test points for your multimeter leads. By positioning them upwards with the wire coming out towards the ground, you will get water in this test point. But I am pretty sure they are wet-location rated any way so it's a moot point. Show off that test point thing in a future video if you haven't already, it is super useful for taking safe measurements on established circuits.
One of the best things about this channel is how you show the snafus and troubleshooting. I have BEEN THERE with the 3x hanging of the sconce plate. And I can't count how many times I've encountered shoddily built stuff I've bought that I decided to fix myself rather than go through the hassle of returning. Keep up the good work.
i know you guys have the snap panel as a sponsor, but man that cloud controlled stuff is not for me. But I like those HALO lights and that BA Fan... look like really well built stuff. That assembly quality control issue could happen to anyone and doesn't scare me... I like what I see, and you guys did a great job of not only fixing it, but filming it all and showing everyone the whole journey! congrats guys.
Brilliant marketing by Halo (pun intended) to work with you guys. After seeing you guys use and install Halos, showcasing their engineering and product options, they're now my default choice for lighting.
I just installed some halos in my house today. Picked up some wiring tips from your previous videos. Thanks for all the great videos! Every video y’all post helps all of us learn and become more comfortable doing some of this work ourselves. Y’all rock!
My favorite series to watch right now on YT. Something cathartic and calming about it (although at times I’m sure it’s not for you). Great editing, detail, and overall show. Also, really nice choices on all of your fixtures, colors, design and equipment. What a space.
The quality of big a fans is typically top notch. I'm surprised there was an issue, even though it was super minor. My guess is that they would have replaced it for you, but I then we would not have the satisfaction of watching you do it yourself. The house looks fantastic with all the lights!
Looking good guys! It's kinda cool having followed this build right from the start and seeing the progress made! Jordan, as a fellow smart-home enthusiast, you should look into an open source project called Home Assistant. It basically will take all your light bulbs, and other smart devices, and put them together. The talk about having the lights turn on when your team wins the game could even be automated! I use the Phillips Hue bulbs too, and I've since got rid of their base station in favor of just going directly to my HA server: just cuts out one more thing that COULD go wrong.
So happy for you guys....great progress, thanks for sharing. Something to consider for your outside sconces, remove each lens holder and apply a light coat of grease to the threads so you can remove them easily when you need to update/change your bulbs. Same recommendation for the screws on the front sconces.
Everytime I watch it reminds me of building houses with my Dad. You and him are the master of the tricks of the trades. Always great to see you guys work.
Looking at the warm light showering the entire inside of your garage with your exterior color palette looks just absolutely STUNNING. Love to see all these videos and how 'simple' the fan fix was. On a side note, Since you're having a combination of Philips Hue (I've got about 20 in my house) and Halo with Wiz, I highly recommend planning on adding Home Assistant to your network stack so you can control everything and get all the Wiz stuff on your Apple Home app as well. I've got a combination of Hue, Govee, Nanoleaf, Wiz, my local (Ubiquiti) cameras, all visible/contrallable through both Home Assistant, as well as (via Home Assistant) Apple Home. Would love to help you with any setup questions, though the /r/homeassistant subreddit would certainly be able to help you out more specifically. Love the vids, keep it up, it's incredible to think of how little time it's going to be now before you're all moved into the garage.
I'm an electronics engineer, and I was very impressed to see conformal coating on the Big Ass fan circuit board. This is not a common thing, but it protects against moisture. The PCB layout looks well done. I've used the same Wi-Fi microcontroller module on some projects. Nicely designed product!
Guys, you are awesome ! You can do almost everything :) thanks to your videos I finished my house (floors, bathroom, toilet and any other things)...I have to finish some things also outside and you are my big motivation to do it and thanks to your advices it is always easy to do something. I love how you are cooperating together like father and son...unfortunately my father is not here anymore, but when I watch your videos I just imagine how it would be to do some stuff with him like you do it. Appreciate yourself and enjoy your time together like son and father - that's the best. Greetings from Europe, from little country called Slovakia. I am looking forward to see your next videos :))
What an amazing accomplishment so far. I got goosebumps watching you turn on the main power and seeing the house lit up. Jordan, you must be extremely proud so far. Looking forward to the next episode. Great job on the massive, err big ass fan.
You should really consider sealing around the outside lights. Not so much for water proofing, but to keep insects from being able to build nests in those cavities.
@stevewayne3676 He's talking about the fixture where it mounts against the wall and he's very correct, ants, spiders, wasps, bees, earwigs, ladybugs, wood beatles and other insects love to nest inside the fixture bases and electrical boxes.
I was wondering why you would skip something that is so simple and cheap to do, and could save you from so much headache down the road. Also kinda curious why you didn't just add the 2 extra screws to the top of the front light fixtures, since that's where all the weight is going to leverage.
Hey Paul, you’ve undersold yourself saying those front sconces are the biggest lights you’ve ever installed. The gas lamp on your 26th video way back in the day must take that crown 😜. Love the content guys, keep em coming. Thanks.
Excellent! So... I hope your coming back behind them didn't *actually* void the warranty. But, I am glad that you got that tape noise knocked out. And, the garage lighting looks great! (Now... I'm old. I understand the young whippersnappers like variety in their colors. Me? 2700k is about a colorful as I like my lights. Just a nice, warm... almost incandescent light. That's me. Thanks again for sharing the adventure with us. I'm loving it.
Much the same here except for the kitchen, there we both prefer full spectrum. For my porch light I have 6000k and 100W equivalent, I want to be able to SEE what is outside the front door.
I installed a pair of these on a large patio porch, the assembly kit is amazing from them. The fans are NOT cheap by any metric. Too bad they shipped it out with that tape loose. Likely, it will come loose again. Tape doesn’t like being free from the backing long without being pressure fixed to a surface. Cool build.
Love wagos - had to replace a post lamp fixture, and the post has an receptacle, so lots of connections. Video on the scaffold was giving me vertigo! Impressed that you fixed the click in the fan - the fan company needs to do some QA.
Been a long time coming. I'm not a fan of multicolored light personally but then this isn't my home, is it? LOL. If Jordan likes it that's what matters. Everything looks great.
Looks really awesome, guys!! Well done! One small tip that I really liked was to mark the layout of the lights on the subfloor...great idea, even for smaller rooms. Must feel great to have that done...great work, gents!
I can’t believe it’s been a year since the foundation fiasco. Everything looks absolutely amazing. I look forward to your videos and wait to watch them until i can fully enjoy them. Great job!!!
Man I sure wish yall would get handrails for that scaffold. I know you think you’re careful enough that you won’t fall but I’ve been in construction for 40 years and I’ve been on jobs where people have fallen and not gone home. Think about how it would affect your wife and family members if you did fall not just emotionally but financially. Hand rails are cheap go pick some up.
We hear ya Steven, but there are dozens of videos we have where the safety railing is installed. When it's not on there's usually a good reason, in this video it happened to be the safety railing collided with the finished ceiling. Had to just be careful.
Jordan only on the scaffolding when no railing. If he falls, he’ll already be home. Some giant crash pads would be pretty awesome. Just don’t miss. A lot of incentive riding on that goal.
isn’t his house next door? he could crawl and roll home.. JK. the older I get the more accident I see and realize how no one plans for accidents to happen.. which will happen but what matters is the severity. all we can do is minimize risk!
Something to keep in mind with ceiling fans is to watch out for "chopping" the light cone from recessed lights in order to avoid creating that annoying strobing light. Make sure you keep plenty of clearance from the blades maximum reach and the can lights.
Hey guys, I love the patience and good attitudes that you all have. We need to bottle that up and bring it to my work place!! Thanks for the great content!!
You guys are truly the best I enjoy every video you guys put out no matter what it's about!! I'm always coming home and looking for a new video of yours! Keep up the great work you guys are a great team!
Very cool episode of the build. Good to show the ups and downs of the process. These projects rarely go smoothly, but it's how you handle the challenges that makes you a good builder.
Have garrage doors arrived? It was about 3 weeks ago, and you said delivery was around now. I'm looking forward to seeing the building getting closed in! Awesome job.
I just wanted to see how many people would trash talk the Wago connectors. Lol. There's always at least one guy, that knows a guy, that says they are dangerous. Never first hand. They say "they wear out, and create a short causing a fire". Well, don't constantly move them around to wear them out! I like them, myself.
Used around Europe for a long time and made by a reputable company. I've used wago products in commercial control panels for years. I agree with you wholeheartedly.
We've noticed a big change even in our comment section in the past 4-5 years! People used to trash em... then they actually got their hands on some.. 😂
@@StudPack I like the 415's the most as I do a lot of 2 wires. But they have a straight through that is nice too. You can a splice wire that was cut too short.
As as Europen I will never understand this "fear" of Wagos in the US. They are used for decades over here and nothing burned down. btw I only see the Wago 221 lever nuts in Videos, dont you have the Wago 2273 in the US for solid wire and 224 for lamps?
I’m am Electrician, installed 2 fixtures for a realtor client of ours. Each fixture was north of $3000. They were ugly, but she picked them. - I once swapped a fan for a fan on a 12 ft ceiling. The carpenter that installed the ship lap did not install the bracket that holds the fan. It almost took me out!
I thought FOR SURE, when you put the fan back up and still heard the noise, the camera was going to pan over to Rad making the noise... Looks awesome all lit up!!

Those are the jobs I make the most on.
That happens most often when I'm doing someone a favor helping out at a cheap price or free. "No good deed goes unpunished."
Don’t you think it would have been better to have contacted Bigass Fans to come out and fix their own fan? Seems like that would have been the smarter move to save a warranty on a $2000 fan! IMHO…
I am sure they said it was fine to open it. .
The wife.. " why is it not done yet.. you have been messing with it all day"
BigAss Fans better send you one for the house for fixing their QC issue. It should have never left the factory with that tape click. Awesome job and great picks for the lights.
At least get the quality control person a hearing aid .
don't hold your breath
they need a better way to hold those balance weights in place that's pretty chintzy way of doing it on a $2k fan

I envy your balance standing on the scaffold and wiring the fixtures. At age of 74 all I can say is those were the days.
My feet were sweating! Doesn't he need to be wearing a belt? Scarry!!!!
@@SarahParalegal I was thinking the same thing, but then I realized we're looking at the camera angle, not Paul's perspective.
They really need to work safer on the scaffold though.
At 78 I can relate. My wife revoked my ladder passport a few years back.
Way to stick it to big ass fans and disassemble their product and exposed the issue. You deserve free fans for the main house!
To hell with that warranty, open it up
Not trying to step on any toes! We like the word "accountable"
That’s gotta be hugely embarrassing for them when they see this. Someone in QC is going to hear about this.
@@brainblasta2 The boss - You had one job to do.
@@StudPack For 2G's they should be giving their people enough time and implementing enough qc to never allow this sloppiness to happen.

No need to tape a wago. That’s just wasting time. I like the grease idea for outside bulbs though, great idea I never thought of

Correcting myself here: Wagos are NOT wet-location rated. Put a Wago "gel box" on those outdoor connections 🤘

I use the Phillips Hue bulbs too, and I've since got rid of their base station in favor of just going directly to my HA server: just cuts out one more thing that COULD go wrong.
So happy for you guys....great progress, thanks for sharing.
Something to consider for your outside sconces, remove each lens holder and apply a light coat of grease to the threads so you can remove them easily when you need to update/change your bulbs. Same recommendation for the screws on the front sconces.
based on my own experience I highly recommend that plus dielectric grease on the bulb threads. Especially in your climate.
Gotta give it up to Jordan. He hit it out of the park with the overall design choices. The build looks fantastic!
It’s awesome that you and your son get to do this together. Every son’s hero, his dad who can fix anything. Great job!
*Plus, he seems to have hit the Son-in-Law lotto too!*
Great Team!.
Everytime I watch it reminds me of building houses with my Dad. You and him are the master of the tricks of the trades. Always great to see you guys work.
I love seeing you guys use Halo lights. The innovations that Halo have brought to the market has truly made for ease of installation.
Looking at the warm light showering the entire inside of your garage with your exterior color palette looks just absolutely STUNNING. Love to see all these videos and how 'simple' the fan fix was.
On a side note, Since you're having a combination of Philips Hue (I've got about 20 in my house) and Halo with Wiz, I highly recommend planning on adding Home Assistant to your network stack so you can control everything and get all the Wiz stuff on your Apple Home app as well. I've got a combination of Hue, Govee, Nanoleaf, Wiz, my local (Ubiquiti) cameras, all visible/contrallable through both Home Assistant, as well as (via Home Assistant) Apple Home. Would love to help you with any setup questions, though the /r/homeassistant subreddit would certainly be able to help you out more specifically.
Love the vids, keep it up, it's incredible to think of how little time it's going to be now before you're all moved into the garage.
Great video again Paul & Jordan. I just wish you had some safety or side rails on the scaffolding. The lighting looks really great.
Well, the place looks FAN-Tastic, inside and out! What a great build, that you can both be proud of the rest of your lives. Congrats guys.
I'm an electronics engineer, and I was very impressed to see conformal coating on the Big Ass fan circuit board. This is not a common thing, but it protects against moisture.
The PCB layout looks well done. I've used the same Wi-Fi microcontroller module on some projects.
Nicely designed product!
Great job guys.
So happy for you that you were able to fix the fan rather than the headache of returning for replacement.
Grace and Peace
Slick
Guys, you are awesome ! You can do almost everything :) thanks to your videos I finished my house (floors, bathroom, toilet and any other things)...I have to finish some things also outside and you are my big motivation to do it and thanks to your advices it is always easy to do something. I love how you are cooperating together like father and son...unfortunately my father is not here anymore, but when I watch your videos I just imagine how it would be to do some stuff with him like you do it. Appreciate yourself and enjoy your time together like son and father - that's the best. Greetings from Europe, from little country called Slovakia. I am looking forward to see your next videos :))
What an amazing accomplishment so far. I got goosebumps watching you turn on the main power and seeing the house lit up. Jordan, you must be extremely proud so far. Looking forward to the next episode. Great job on the massive, err big ass fan.
You should really consider sealing around the outside lights. Not so much for water proofing, but to keep insects from being able to build nests in those cavities.
I thought I seen a rubber gasket around them.
I could be wrong but I think they'll need to pull it out to replace the light when it goes bad and it would be a mess on the ceiling.
@stevewayne3676 He's talking about the fixture where it mounts against the wall and he's very correct, ants, spiders, wasps, bees, earwigs, ladybugs, wood beatles and other insects love to nest inside the fixture bases and electrical boxes.
I was wondering why you would skip something that is so simple and cheap to do, and could save you from so much headache down the road. Also kinda curious why you didn't just add the 2 extra screws to the top of the front light fixtures, since that's where all the weight is going to leverage.
Man what a great milestone!! Huge impact! 🎉
Hey Paul, you’ve undersold yourself saying those front sconces are the biggest lights you’ve ever installed. The gas lamp on your 26th video way back in the day must take that crown 😜.
Love the content guys, keep em coming. Thanks.
Anyone got a link for those front big ass sconces?
Excellent!
So... I hope your coming back behind them didn't *actually* void the warranty. But, I am glad that you got that tape noise knocked out.
And, the garage lighting looks great! (Now... I'm old. I understand the young whippersnappers like variety in their colors. Me? 2700k is about a colorful as I like my lights. Just a nice, warm... almost incandescent light. That's me.
Thanks again for sharing the adventure with us. I'm loving it.
Much the same here except for the kitchen, there we both prefer full spectrum. For my porch light I have 6000k and 100W equivalent, I want to be able to SEE what is outside the front door.
Can’t void a warranty in the US for doing that. Magnuson-Moss warranty act of 1975
I’m 34 and I agree fully.
I installed a pair of these on a large patio porch, the assembly kit is amazing from them. The fans are NOT cheap by any metric.
Too bad they shipped it out with that tape loose.
Likely, it will come loose again.
Tape doesn’t like being free from the backing long without being pressure fixed to a surface.
Cool build.
Love you guys. You helped me with my first and last short install, and it turned out fantastic. Thanks again. 😊
Love wagos - had to replace a post lamp fixture, and the post has an receptacle, so lots of connections. Video on the scaffold was giving me vertigo! Impressed that you fixed the click in the fan - the fan company needs to do some QA.
Hey guys. The garage/apartment looks awesome all lit up. Hope you experiment more with light color variety. Thanks for sharing this build project.
Been a long time coming. I'm not a fan of multicolored light personally but then this isn't my home, is it? LOL. If Jordan likes it that's what matters. Everything looks great.
Great to see a major step completed! Congratulations guys! All three of you!
Glad to see another 4000k man, Jordan! I used to be obsessed with "daylight", but it just doesn't look good.
Looks really awesome, guys!! Well done! One small tip that I really liked was to mark the layout of the lights on the subfloor...great idea, even for smaller rooms. Must feel great to have that done...great work, gents!
Front sconce look great!
I can’t believe it’s been a year since the foundation fiasco. Everything looks absolutely amazing. I look forward to your videos and wait to watch them until i can fully enjoy them. Great job!!!
Man I sure wish yall would get handrails for that scaffold. I know you think you’re careful enough that you won’t fall but I’ve been in construction for 40 years and I’ve been on jobs where people have fallen and not gone home. Think about how it would affect your wife and family members if you did fall not just emotionally but financially. Hand rails are cheap go pick some up.
We hear ya Steven, but there are dozens of videos we have where the safety railing is installed. When it's not on there's usually a good reason, in this video it happened to be the safety railing collided with the finished ceiling. Had to just be careful.
@@StudPackyou should consider wearing a harness in those cases. Would hate for someone to not make it home.
Jordan only on the scaffolding when no railing. If he falls, he’ll already be home.
Some giant crash pads would be pretty awesome. Just don’t miss. A lot of incentive riding on that goal.
That was the first thing I noticed. There's always time to do it safely
isn’t his house next door? he could crawl and roll home.. JK.
the older I get the more accident I see and realize how no one plans for accidents to happen.. which will happen but what matters is the severity.
all we can do is minimize risk!
Everything looks so good.. and this is just the garage! The house is going to be amazing I'm sure 😋
Great video. I appreciate you guys leaving the troubleshooting in there as opposed to a Flawless install which never happens lol
Something to keep in mind with ceiling fans is to watch out for "chopping" the light cone from recessed lights in order to avoid creating that annoying strobing light. Make sure you keep plenty of clearance from the blades maximum reach and the can lights.
I'm so glad to be amongst the first to see it. I've been waiting in eager anticipation for the next video
from my understanding, you only void a warranty if your “fix” actually breaks something within the device
Impressive fan fix. Jordan never bust your dads chops, he's a well of knowledge..
Hey guys, I love the patience and good attitudes that you all have. We need to bottle that up and bring it to my work place!!
Thanks for the great content!!
Oh man! 4000k.... Everyone is different but I'm a 2700k all day. Love the yellow similar to old incandescent bulbs.
3000k for me. I cringed when he said 4k lol
@@alexanderlavoie5461 part time surgeon 😎
Do you have blue eyes?
@@alexanderlavoie5461same!
4000k MINIMUM, maybe 5000k, depending on the particular bulb/manufacturer. Yellow light is the worst.
You guys are truly the best I enjoy every video you guys put out no matter what it's about!! I'm always coming home and looking for a new video of yours! Keep up the great work you guys are a great team!
Very cool episode of the build. Good to show the ups and downs of the process. These projects rarely go smoothly, but it's how you handle the challenges that makes you a good builder.
Happy to be along for the ride. Awesome stuff guys!
Have garrage doors arrived? It was about 3 weeks ago, and you said delivery was around now. I'm looking forward to seeing the building getting closed in! Awesome job.
They got delayed a month 🙃
@StudPack ahhh sucks to hear that. Sure, you have plenty of things to do in the meantime, and I'm looking forward to it all!
I love the front sconces, but man, those things are going to be FILLED with bugs and cobwebs.
Thanks for sharing, great content , and the fact you can pinpoint the issue with the fan and fixed it was great!
Nice loving the lighting fixtures.❤
I just wanted to see how many people would trash talk the Wago connectors. Lol. There's always at least one guy, that knows a guy, that says they are dangerous. Never first hand. They say "they wear out, and create a short causing a fire". Well, don't constantly move them around to wear them out! I like them, myself.
Used around Europe for a long time and made by a reputable company. I've used wago products in commercial control panels for years. I agree with you wholeheartedly.
We've noticed a big change even in our comment section in the past 4-5 years! People used to trash em... then they actually got their hands on some.. 😂
@@StudPack I like the 415's the most as I do a lot of 2 wires. But they have a straight through that is nice too. You can a splice wire that was cut too short.
As as Europen I will never understand this "fear" of Wagos in the US. They are used for decades over here and nothing burned down.
btw I only see the Wago 221 lever nuts in Videos, dont you have the Wago 2273 in the US for solid wire and 224 for lamps?
I’m am Electrician, installed 2 fixtures for a realtor client of ours. Each fixture was north of $3000. They were ugly, but she picked them.
- I once swapped a fan for a fan on a 12 ft ceiling. The carpenter that installed the ship lap did not install the bracket that holds the fan. It almost took me out!
Nice work guys - The "apartment" looks great! Love that you just dove in and fixed the fan.
I thought FOR SURE, when you put the fan back up and still heard the noise, the camera was going to pan over to Rad making the noise...
Looks awesome all lit up!!
"Turn it off, dude!" when the fan started clanging, lol. I immediately hit pause! 🤣🤣🤣I was in the moment for sure! Great job, guys!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Paul... I love your attention to detail! 👍
Beautiful, love the light fixtures.
First again baby!! Let’s go!!!! 😃😃
Great job Alex!!!
confirmed! Let's go Alex! 💪💪
